MS were hoping we'd all say "go Bing it" like we happily say "go Google it" but that'll *never* happen. In reply to Jackwagon:Yep, back in the day when Google was new, it was competing against Lycos, AltaVista, Ask Jeeves, WebCrawler and others I've probably happily forgotten.There was DogPile which would do the search across all of the engines and favour results that were found in a few of them – it even had a desktop app 🙂 I think Symantec had a product to do this too for a little while.Google was just as silly a name as the others but it worked so well that the others were quickly forgotten.Windows Live Search is a much worse name than "Bing".
You are still anonymous when you perform map and address-related searches on DuckDuckGo.” For local searches, where your approximate location information is sent by your browser to us, we discard it immediately after use. We do not send any personally identifiable information such as IP address to Apple or other third parties. “Naturally, our strict privacy policy of not collecting or sharing any personal information extends to this integration. “At DuckDuckGo, we believe getting the privacy you deserve online should be as simple as closing the blinds,” the service explains. And it has deeply integrated Apple Maps into its own service: These maps are available from the Maps tab, of course, but also embedded in the service’s private search results. “We can now offer users improved address searches, additional visual features, enhanced satellite imagery, and continually updated maps.”ĭuckDuckGo, which bills itself as a privacy-friendly alternative to Google Search, says it is one of the very first companies to use Apple MapKit JS, a web-based framework for using Apple Maps-powered maps on the web.
“We’re excited to work closely with Apple to set a new standard of trust online, and we hope you’ll enjoy this update,” a new post to the DuckDuckGo news blog reads. Search engine DuckDuckGo announced today that it has licensed Apple Maps for its map- and address-related search results on both mobile and desktop.
